"Aki" is #8 in the Dragon Snail™ series. The name "Aki" is Japanese for "autumn." This particular subspecies of Draco domiporta™ is most often seen as the leaves are beginning their yearly transformation in preparation for winter. 

Aki is somewhat reminiscent of Eastern dragons, having a similar snout and horns. His color is a rich earthy red with tiny gold flecks. His horns, which resemble those of a young stag, are golden, and his eyes are a stunning shade of green. He stands 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) tall and 4.5 inches (11.4 cm) long.

Polymer clay and real seashell.

Your dragon snails are so cool! I never even thought of doing away with the hard parts like you did. And I just love the color of this one. 2

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thank you Meg! I didn't think of it as doing away with the hard parts, but now that you mention it that is a bonus! ^__^ Aki's colors are what I love best about him. Thanks again!"

Wow! I love the detail in the head. I also admire the way it sparkles a little in the sunlight. It's so creative to make the dragon a little snail. I've never thought about doing that before, and I have to envy you imagination and creativity!

:-) Erin ´EireWolf´ Metcalf replies: "Thanks Berea! 2 I came up with the idea for Dragon Snails partially because of an assignment in sculpture class, which was to create a new creature by blending 2 or more. That was fun. 1"
